    Governmental overreach. Good luck trying to enforce this shit.

    Social media isn’t bad inherently. Addictive algorithms, violation of user privacy, etc. is bad.

    Kids should be taught how to make use of social media for good. I was bullied quite a lot as a kid. Social media is what kinda brought me out of it.

    Social media told 13 year old me, that it is alright to be gay. Social media is what made me interested in politics. A huge part of who I am today is because of the nice people I met online. Fuck the government for trying to take it away from others like me.

      Cigarettes aren’t bad for you. It’s just the burning tar and the nicotine.

        But social media don’t have to burn tar. They chose to because this way they can get more money, but it’s not an inherent part of the system, it’s an exploitation of it for profit, and can be separated
